What is the word for when children or elderly people can't control inappropriate things they say or don't have the recognition of when they do something bad?
 
well not recognizing that something is potentially hurtful could be classified as ignorant, but i don't think that's the word you're chasing
 
Not having control over taboo impulses is Tourette's syndrome.

Not having moral judgement is a mental disorder called Antisocial Personality Disorder (used to be called sociopath, psychopath, etc).

Elderly application is called "geriatric," and child application is juvenile.
 
I'm not really looking for a medical term. Just how you would classify an obnoxious individual who can't recognize when they are going overboard.
 
a lack of self awareness or self monitoring?

or some people say that a person "has no filter" if they blurt stuff out without thinking
